Its long tradition links together the major heritage of Indian music and culture. Dhrupad’s origin is thought to be in the recitation of the Samveda. The Maestros of Dhrupad remark that rather than entertaining an audience, Dhrupad’s purpose is a form of worship, in which offerings are made to the divine through sound or nada. Dhrupad can be seen at different levels as a meditation, a mantric recitation, worship, a yoga or tantra based on the knowledge of the Nadis and chakras, and also purely as a performing art portraying a universe of human emotions.
